Book 64 3 John
64:001:001 The elder unto the
wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the
truth.
64:001:002 Beloved, I wish above
all things that thou mayest prosper and
be in health, even as
thy soul prospereth.
64:001:003 For I rejoiced greatly,
when the brethren came and testified
of the truth that is in
thee, even as thou walkest in the
truth.
64:001:004 I have no greater joy
than to hear that my children walk in
truth.
64:001:005 Beloved, thou doest
faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the
brethren, and to
strangers;
64:001:006 Which have borne
witness of thy charity before the church:
whom if thou bring
forward on their journey after a godly
sort, thou shalt do
well:
64:001:007 Because that for his
name's sake they went forth, taking
nothing of the
Gentiles.
64:001:008 We therefore ought to
receive such, that we might be
fellowhelpers to the
truth.
64:001:009 I wrote unto the
church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have
the preeminence among
them, receiveth us not.
64:001:010 Wherefore, if I come, I
will remember his deeds which he
doeth, prating against
us with malicious words: and not
content therewith,
neither doth he himself receive the
brethren, and
forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out
of the church.
64:001:011 Beloved, follow not
that which is evil, but that which is
good. He that doeth
good is of God: but he that doeth evil
hath not seen God.
64:001:012 Demetrius hath good
report of all men, and of the truth
itself: yea, and we
also bear record; and ye know that our
record is true.
64:001:013 I had many things to
write, but I will not with ink and pen
write unto thee:
64:001:014 But I trust I shall
shortly see thee, and we shall speak face
to face. Peace be to
thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the
friends by name.
